Bank for covert levels

READ IT BEFORE YOU BASH IT THANKS

Im sure anyone who has invested into covert lvls knows how expensive they get, and at a certain point u may not beable to get the naq together, even selling naq on the market at 600mill/k it would take 20mill+ UU for some levels,

So im thinking how about below the covert n anti covert options there be a vault for each, but you can only put into it, not take out, it can not be used to store naq, and when you save enough naq for that covert lvl you can buy it, you cannot save more than the lvl is worth, so say you want covert lvl 30 which costs

Cost: 3,221,225,472,000 Naquadah
Cost for Replicators: 2,899,102,924,800 Naquadah

You can only store a max of 3,221,225,472,000, i hope that makes sense, and as you cannot take out of these storage area's it stops people storing billions of naq........and as its an investment, everyone can help across the board, dont want a covert lvl dont put the naq in.

What you all think.....

Are you thinking of maybe a progress bar towards level 30, like you pump X amount of naq into your next spy level, if so I like this idea

i dont think this is a good idea. the whole point of covert levels is that they get exponentially harder to get. if you could simply store up naq it would be very easy to get higher covert levels

Yea that would be the same idea, instead of storing it to buy it, you could make it an investment, butyour covert does not get affected until you actually get the next level, also there would be no dif in storing the naq, as to a progress bar, its exactly the same :P

At a certain point covert lvls going from 12trill (20mill uu) 24trill ( nearly 40mill uu ) 50trill naq (nearly 80mill UU) they dont become hard they become impossible, if there impossible admin may aswell cap it.

Yeah then anyone could just go on forever.

Have you any idea how long it would take to save 50trill naq, even the top incomes in the game would take months.

That adds a lot to your covert power, so it makes sense to be harder to get.

I like it, although I think it would take some strategy away from the game..

heres an idea. the covert lvl is like the UUp. u can upgrade it, but it has to get to a certain level to do anything.

ie: covert lvl 26 is like 201.5 bil. u can put naq into it, and it reduces, until u have payed it off, then u get the bonus for it.

put a 20-25% tax on anything going in and I'd support it :)

like the bank deposit tax. 25% would b good. makes it a bit harder. unless u pay it off in one lump sum tho.

I like that idea, lets face it, 25trill naq no one is going to have, doesnt matter how good you are, someone said corkscrew makes it, but atm he cannot store it, putting a 20% extra tax on the holding area is a good idea, makes you really want to invest.

even with 4 of the biggest players, we would only just be able hold it with our banks.....as i have 94mill miners and its only a 6trill bank

so 4 of us would be able to hold it between us

being able to pay it off bi by bit is a great idea i had the same but never posted, it makes sense for when people reach level 29 it gets to hard to hold the naq needed for 30. banks cant hold enough and its awkard getting others to hold it.

a covert purchasing bank is a good idea but with no tax, adding a tax to it it is stupid. if you add 20% tax to it then its just like buying attack of defence weapons and selling them later. you lose 20% that way. if you add tax its alot of coding for something that can already be done.
